Woman left with a UNIBOOB after botched breast surgery begs doctors for help so she can date again

A WOMAN left with a UNIBOOB after breast surgery was horrified when doctors advised her not to worry it couldn’t be fixed as at least she’d never be a stripper.

Serena, 28, is from Minnesota and had an operation to increase her boob size several years ago.

She was adamant it was the right move as she was so upset with her flat chest, but was left devastated when things didn’t work out.

As soon as she woke from the operation, Serena realised something was badly wrong.

Her chest felt like it was “pulling and ripping”, and when it was no better after three months she went back to her doctor.

“I can't fix this but at least you are not going to be a stripper,” Serena recalled the medic saying.

She researched her problem herself and realised she had a condition called symmastia, which means her breast tissue had merged in the middle of her chest, and became so self-conscious about the issue she stopped dating.

The doctors immediately came up against a problem when the operation began, as they realised Serena had very little breast tissue.

“Serena had really small breasts and she wanted very large implants put in and that's something her surgeon should've warned her about that could lead her down the path of having significant complications,” Terry said.

After several moments when the doctor didn’t think he’d be able to go ahead he finally found a way, utilising some of Serena’s scar tissue to make “a real stable separation” between her breasts.

“When I had symmastia I was constantly having to hide myself and hide my breasts," she said afterwards.

"I allowed myself to live in pain for six years.

“I'm excited to be able to feel comfortable and not have pain or be so insecure anymore.”
